I want to setup merge replication,

I get my database with data and all its objects on the machine which is goign to be Publisher and Distributor.

I create the Database with Table with primary keys on Subsriber Machine.

I have not yet created the Foreign key relationship on subsriber which normally i want to create after creating the subscriber for the publisher.

So the need is to create a publication with Article filter using logical records which will publish only the data not the schema.

I tried doing twice, once it failed as i tried to change the option false of articles not to copy objects like Primary keys, check constraint and not to keep the existing schema but it failed.

Next I tried with not touching or manipulating the article properties, but it copied the schema and created the foreign keys on the subsriber.

Can any one provide me with a solution to just publish the data not the schema.

Thanks,

Arfat Chougualy
